Yeh, this one's for the workers who toil night and day.


Well its been a long few weeks but overall good. I started my new job. I've pretty much settled in to my new home and life is great.

I like my new job. Its a little hectic at times and just trying to learn everything but I'm picking it up pretty fast. Today I successfully added closed captioning and patched everything right myself. The patch bay is a mess and that is what keeps messing me up cause its not labeled clearly but today I think i pretty much have it down. Now I just have to learn a few more things and then I think I'll be fine. The guy I'm working with (Eric) is going on vacation in a few weeks so while he is going I'll be doing everything. That really scares me a little because I'm so new and if something comes up that I don't know how to do...well we'll find out I guess. I like everyone that works there and its really laid back. Which I so love. So as far as I know I'll still have a job after my month trial. I think the bossman likes me so that is good.

Well lets see. Matt and I went downtown one night to go see Brian Ferral who used to work at PDC when I was there. He works for FBLA and was down for their national conference the last two weeks so it was pretty much the only time we could see him. He's doing really good and looks great. Its amazing what happens to someone when they leave PDC. Its like there life just goes from being crap to wonderful...and that's putting it lightly. lol. But it was great to see him and we have a few drinks and just caught up. He lives in DC or just outside of it. But good to see him none the less.

Then we walked back to the train and well Downtown is so awesome at night. All the lights and it was a perfect night. Not to hot not to cold. I love summers here. But yeah wait till I start bitching about winter cause that is going to suck. I have to walk a ways from the train. Oh well I'll deal with that when it happens.

Well the rest of the week went by and the weekend came. Saturday was something Matt's friends called Spring Break 2007. I know its not spring but something they do I guess and we went to this outdoor bar which was huge and drank and the weather was sooooo freaking nice. Plus it was the first time I had been to the lake and it felt like I was at the beach. You don't even think you are just at a lake. Its so freaking cool. We took the bus down and then walking to the bar and well perfect day and lots o fun. I didn't get in the water so I have no idea if its cold or warm but I still have all summer and I'm sure to go again. Well I have to. I only live blocks away so there is no excuse. Oh and the hot covert boy pic. I wanted to take more but well didn't want to get caught.

So what next. Well Oh pride was the weekend before. But what to say. Just half naked boys on floats, lots of sangria and well yeah pretty much it. Here's a pic.

So anywho, well not much else to say. The next pic is pretty much what I see when going home from work oh and the taxi cab that just decided to run into the wall. It was funny cause I had my headphones on and was just walking and then all of a sudden all these police cars and ambulances came up and I was so confused cause I didn't know if I could cross the street or if I had to go back the way I came and go down a block. It was right near the red line entrance. But then I saw this guy run across the street so I just followed and took these pics.


So that is pretty much my update. I got to leave work early today for the holiday. Matt met me at my favorite place to eat right now. It has the best corn dogs I swear. Then we went shopping at Old Navy and then home. He's leaving for Peru tomorrow so I'm house/dog sitting for two weeks. Its going to suck but he said he can txt msg me when he's there so we'll be in contact but nice going to be home alone. Oh well such is life. Anyway well that's it. Everyone (which I guess is pretty much the girls) have a safe and happy 4th. BYE!
